Sir Walter Scott
沃尔特·司各特爵士(Sir Walter Scott)
Nicknamed “The Great Unknown,” Scott secretly published his wildly successful “Waverley” novels and, in so doing, helped forge the genre of historical fiction. He maintained anonymity for years, keeping his work a secret even from his own children, until financial pressures forced him to confess.
司各特绰号“伟大的无名氏”,他极为成功的小说《威弗利》(Waverley)等都是用这个名字出版的,它们为历史小说这种类型奠定了基础。他多年保持匿名,秘密写作,连他的孩子们也不知道这回事,直到家中出现经济压力,他才被迫坦白交代。
